What costs should I expect besides design?

What costs should I expect besides design?

You’ll need:

✦ A domain (your web address) – usually £5–15* per year.
✦ Hosting (where your site lives online) – if you use Krystal, plans start at about £5/month.
✦ Premium plugins (optional) – these add features like advanced forms, SEO, or e-commerce. Most cost between £25–£200/year and I will recommend only what is needed based on your requirments.

I’ll always flag these costs upfront so there are no surprises.

*Based on a standard .com or .co.uk. Prices vary depending on the extension (e.g. .org, .studio) and how common or in-demand the name is. Some can be just a few pounds, others much higher if classed as “premium”.
